Does anyone else have a hard time listening to advice from someone who hasn't lost anyone in their family? Except for maybe an 85 year old Aunt? I know people mean well, but sometimes I just don't have the energy to listen, nor the heart to say anything!

I am appalled when people liken being a widow to being divorced- really ! I mean if my husband were still alive we would be married.  I know people mean well but this is a little different than when they had to put the dog asleep !

Some people mean well, but if it's annoying, I cut them off and say I can't talk about it now.  And they stop.  Luckily I have had more people say inspiring and thoughtful things.

I just smile and say thank you and think someday you will know what it's like and I will give you the same advise you gave me.

Does anyone else feel pressure to always reply because you're afraid it'll be the last conversation?

Hi everyone. This is my first post here.I lost my brother in December 2024 to an accidental overdose. He passed away suddenly in his sleep. We were only a year and a half apart in age, and he was the closest person I've ever had.One thing I've been struggling with ever since is that I feel an overwhelming pressure to reply to texts and answer calls as soon as I can. If someone messages me and I don't respond right away, my mind starts thinking, "What if something happens to them before I reply?…See More
